Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a demodulation system for 3D-matrix multi-channel fiber optic sensing, and belongs to the field of fiber optic sensors.
  • Fiber optic sensors have become increasingly popular in multi-channel or long distance sensing systems because of their relative immunity from electromagnetic interference, intrinsic safety, and high reliability.
  • a fiber Bragg grating is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in an optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. This is achieved by creating a periodic variation in the refractive index of the optical fiber. Changes in the temperature or applied strain will alter either the Bragg period or the refractive index of the Bragg grating; this in turn causes the wavelength at which the fiber Bragg gratings reflect to change.
  • FBGs fiber Bragg gratings
  • a large number of fiber Bragg grating sensors can be grouped into a 3D-matrix multi-channel sensing system. In such a sensing system, the number of involved sensors can vary depending on the measurement range and the number of channels of the optical switches used.
  • WDM wavelength-, time-, and frequency-division multiplexing
  • TDM time-, and frequency-division multiplexing

  • the present invention has made changes to the complicated structure of existing OFDR demodulation systems to identify the locations of FBG sensors through a Fast Fourier Transform using existing optical devices, thereby enabling the function of a multiplexing distributed sensor network.

  • the system comprises a wavelength swept optical source 111 that emits various wavelengths of light.
  • the various wavelengths of light enter a fiber circulator 112 from the wavelength swept optical source 111 .
  • the other two ports of the fiber circulator 112 are connected to an optical frequency domain reflector and a balanced detector 130 , respectively.
  • the optical frequency domain reflector comprises a first optical path and a second optical path parallel to each other. Both optical paths have their inlets connected to a first 3 dB coupler 113 and their outlets connected to a second 3 dB coupler 116 .
  • a frequency shifter 115 is arranged on the second optical path.
  • the first 3 dB coupler 113 splits the light equally into a first beam and a second beam that enter a first optical path and a second optical path of the optical frequency domain reflector, respectively.
  • a polarization controller 114 is arranged on the first optical path, and a frequency shifter 115 is arranged on the second optical path.
  • the frequency shifter 115 is an acousto-optic modulator. After passing through the frequency shifter 115 , the second beam gains a frequency shift f of a magnitude dependent on an external frequency shift driver. Therefore, after passing through the second 3 dB coupler 116 , the first and second beams become a third beam and a fourth beam that have frequency shifts 0 and f, respectively.
  • the third beam enters directly into the first input D 11 of an optical switch module 118 .
  • the fourth beam passes through an optical fiber 117 before entering the second input D 12 of the optical switch module 118 .
  • the optical switch module 118 consists of two optical switches that operate independently and have the same optical length. The system cannot distinguish between the reflection lights from the two optical switches without the optical fiber 117 .
  • the optical switch module 118 consists of two optical switches.
  • the first input D 11 and the second input D 12 are two inputs for the two optical switches in the optical switch module 118 respectively.
  • Each optical switch has one input and four outputs, so that the optical switch module 118 has eight outputs in total, each output being connected to a sensor cable.
  • the optical switch has to be bidirectional, so that the reflected signal can be reflected back to the optical frequency domain reflector.
  • Such an optical switch module 118 consisting of two optical switches can switch two channels simultaneously, thereby significantly enhancing the efficiency of optical path switching.
  • the optical switch module 118 has two inputs and a plurality of outputs, each of which is connected to one of eight sensor cables which consists of a first sensor cable 122 , a second sensor cable 123 , to an eighth sensor cable 129 .
  • Each sensor cable carries O*M FBG sensors, where M is the dimension of wavelength multiplexing, O is the number of sensors at the same Bragg wavelength along the same sensor cable, and M is the number of different Bragg wavelengths at which the FBG sensors along the same sensor cable are operating.
  • O*M 3, which indicates that three FBG sensors, i.e., a first sensor 119 , a second sensor 120 , and a third sensor 121 are connected in series on the first sensor cable 122 as shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the fiber 117 should be longer even than the longest sensor cable in order to avoid overlapping of signals reflected from different sensor cables.
  • the light is transmitted through the optical switch module 118 to a set of FBG sensors positioned on the same sensor cable. All of these FBG sensors exhibit a low reflectivity at their operating wavelengths. Due to their low reflectivity of about 4%, the front FBG sensor has a negligible shadow effect when the spectra of the FBG sensors overlap.
  • all the FBG sensors along the same sensor cable can reflect the light ray to the first input D 11 and second input D 12 .
  • the reflection light then enters the second 3 dB coupler 116 .
  • Reflection light rays having frequency shifts 0 and f are coupled into the two optical paths of the optical frequency domain reflector, i.e., the optical paths on which the polarization controller 114 and the frequency shifter 115 are respectively positioned. Therefore, the reflection light rays at the first 3 dB coupler 113 have four frequency shifts, which are 0 and f from the first optical path and f and 2f from the second optical path, respectively. As is well known, only light rays having the same frequency shift f would interfere to generate interfering signals.
  • the other light rays will not interfere due to the different frequency shifts and unbalanced optical paths.
  • the interfering signals at the first port C 11 and second port C 12 result from the signals reflected by the i-th sensor on the k-th sensor cable, expressed as:
  • the interfering signal at the first port C 11 is coupled into an input of the balanced detector 130 which is a photoelectric converter capable of filtering DC components.
  • the interfering signal at the second port C 12 goes through a variable optical attenuator 132 to balance the DC components and is then coupled into another input of the balanced detector 130 .
  • the optical attenuator 132 may be a refractor, an optical splitter, or a scatter.
  • the interfering signals produced by the other FBG sensors are expressed as:
  • the wavelength ⁇ can be treated as constant throughout the frequency sweep period of the frequency shifter 115 .
  • a Fast Fourier Transform is applied to the interfering signal in Eq. (2).

  • ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ L c 2 ⁇ ⁇ n eff ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ f ( 4 )
  • a LabVIEW program was developed to control the wavelength swept optical source, and a computer is used to perform data acquisition and processing.
  • the wavelength swept optical source sweeps from 90 MHz to 110 MHz at a 0.04-MHz step with a time interval of 1 ms. All the FBG sensors have a reflectivity of about 4% and neighboring sensors are spaced at about 55 m.
  • the wavelength swept optical source emits 1548.675 nm wavelength of light
  • the Bragg wavelengths for the locations of the ten FBG sensors G 1 through G 10 (of which G 5 , G 6 , G 8 , G 9 , and G 10 are not shown) resolved by the present invention are centered around 1548.6 nm.
  • G 1 , G 2 , G 3 , G 4 , and G 7 are spectra overlapped.

  • a first frequency shifter 215 and a second frequency shifter 216 are respectively positioned on two optical paths.
  • the first frequency shifter 215 lowers the frequency of the incident optical signal by f 1
  • the second frequency shifter 216 increases the frequency of the incident optical signal by f 2 .
  • the first frequency shifter 215 and the second frequency shifter 216 are swept in opposite directions. That is, the second frequency shifter 216 is swept from 90 MHz to 110 MHz, and the first frequency shifter 215 is swept from 110 MHz to 90 MHz.
  • the interfering signals at the third port C 21 and the fourth port C 22 shall contain the frequency components ⁇ 2f 1 , 2f 2 , f 2 ⁇ f 1 , and f 2 ⁇ f 1 . Only lights having the same frequency shift can interfere with each other and produce measurable interfering signals, such as f 2 ⁇ f 1 .
  • the equation (2) from embodiment 1 becomes as follows:
  • the locations of the FBG sensors are represented by the frequencies of the Fourier components, and the reflectivities of the FBG sensors are represented by the strengths of the Fourier components.
  • the location of the i-th FBG sensor is expressed as:
  • ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ L c 2 ⁇ ⁇ n eff ⁇ ( ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ f 1 + ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ f 2 ) ( 7 )
  • an increased spatial resolution ⁇ L can be achieved through a greater frequency shift generated by the frequency shifter.
  • the sensor network in this embodiment differs from that in embodiment 1 in that the outputs of the optical switch module 219 are connected with a first sensor cable 223 through an eighth sensor cable 230 , with three sets of FBG sensors connected in series on each of the sensor cables.
  • a first sensor set 220 , a second sensor set 221 , and a third sensor set 222 are connected in series on the first sensor cable 223 .

  • the second sensor set 221 includes a twenty first sensor 21 , a twenty second sensor 22 , a twenty third sensor 23 , and a twenty fourth sensor 24 .
  • the two neighboring FBG sensors in each set are spaced by a very short distance of x or even in contact with each other for ease of interrogation. Such an arrangement can improve the spatial resolution, which is more suitable for a quasi-distributed sensor network.
  • the corresponding FBG sensors in different sets should be spaced by a distance of y that is larger than the spatial resolution ⁇ L. Apart from that, this embodiment is the same as embodiment 1.

  • the optical switch module consists of a single optical switch with one input and four outputs. Therefore, compared with the optical switch module in embodiment 1, only 50% of incident light is utilized in the optical frequency domain reflector, while the other 50% of incident light is not utilized. Also, the number of sensors that can be contained in the optical switch module is reduced by 50%. Therefore, the device in this embodiment is more economic. Apart from that, this embodiment is the same as embodiment 1.
